Jamie wrote: ‘Congratulations to Jack and Roxy on your big day. I honestly couldn’t be happier for you both. I think the world of you guys and I’m so proud to be there to see it all.

‘Jack, you’re like a little brother to me, although somehow still my favourite man baby. And Roxy, fair play… you’ve taken on a lifelong project there.

‘Wishing you both a lifetime of laughs, love, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

‘Have the best day, and an even better life together .’

Roxy, who has been dating Jack since lockdown in 2020 and they share a two-year-old daughter, Elsie. 

Freddie had been expected to be on the high-profile wedding guest list.

He and Jack’s relationship goes way back – so much so that Jack revealed that he suffered from bulimia when he launched his television career in Flintoff’s Disney+ documentary.

The funnyman admitted the ‘pressures’ of the industry led to his eating disorder battle and it was something he kept quiet about until his good friend Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff ‘bravely’ shared his own bulimia battle.

The Preston-born Ashes legend made a BBC documentary called Freddie Flintoff: Living with Bulimia, in 2020, where he revealed his struggle with the eating disorder at the start of his career when focus was put on his weight.
